It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Never heard of Haoqi but I'd be pretty hesitant to send it on this thing. Anyone ridden one before or heard of the company?

No and the last time I trusted some alphabet soup company to make a safe bike, I got my arm broken (thanks ENGWE!). Then eventually paid for my helmet after half a year of fighting them, and my medical bills were none of their concern.

I have an Engwe and would not trust it to even go near a real trail.

The only air I got on mine is when the front fender failed and threw me

I believe they're in the same "type group" as Aventon, Lectric, etc. Sold in bike stores and DTC. Not tier 1 stuff and not aimed at people who use the word "send" in an MTB context ;) but good enough for most people who haven't normalized "Only "$8K??? Damn that's a deal!"

Edit to add - and yes it was a deal and no I don't have a problem.

What bike?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have a Santa Cruz Heckler for fun, but I was using an Aventon cargo bike for all my shopping until just recently, it's being sold and replaced with a fat tire. The heckler was stupid, the others are both in that DTC/store class, 2kish range.

Fat tires are great for snow and sand
